Overview

The National Defense Authorization Act authorizes the Secretary of Defense to transfer excess Department of Defense (DoD) personal property to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies (LEA) with special emphasis given to counter drug and counter terrorism. The LESO Program (formerly known as the 1033 and/or 1208 Programs) allows LEAs to receive DoD excess property. If you qualify and choose to participate, your organization will become one of over 13,000 local LEAs who have taken advantage of this unique program.

​Screening

Program screening (searching for excess property) worldwide is extremely simple and available online through the Defense Logistics Agency's property search application. You can search for specific items or for a broad range of material(s). You can even create a want list, so the system does the searching for you. You can also visit your nearby Disposition Services Center (formerly known as a DRMO). At least on designated individual from your agency must be registered in AMPS, RTD, and FEPMIS for your agency to acquire excess property.

Special Equipment

Some equipment is scarce, unavailable on line, or is in such high demand that additional steps are taken to ensure equitable distribution throughout the nation. If your agency is interested in acquiring Aircraft, Weapons, or armored response vehicles, please click on the links below to learn more and contact our office directly.
